Strand Notes

Controversy tends to dog the art of Chris Ofili, and former New York Mayor Giuliani's suspension of funding for the Brooklyn Museum upon its exhibition of his 1996 painting "The Holy Virgin Mary" in 1999 was but one instance of the ire Ofili routinely arouses. "Devil's Pie" derives its title from singer-songwriter D'Angelo's 1998 lyric meditation on temptation and retribution. It collects the artist's work in sculpture, painting, printmaking and graphite drawing for the first time and includes informing texts. Illustrated throughout. 180p.
